Question

question point a is located at (-1, -4) on the coordinate plane. point a is reflected over the y - axis to create point a. what ordered pair describes the location of a? answer attempt 1 out of 2 a( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

When reflecting a point $(x,y)$ over the $y$-axis, the rule is $(-x,y)$.

Step2: Apply rule to point A

Given point $A(-1,-4)$, for $x = - 1$ and $y=-4$, then $-x=-(-1) = 1$ and $y=-4$ remains the same.

Answer:

$(1,-4)$
